Sakura woke up at 7:00. Meeting Tomoyo had built up her confidence, and so, today she would be going back to school. She hadn't seen Robert all last night. Which was good. Even with all that self-defense she had learnt, she still didn't want to face him.
She climbed out of bed and got ready for school. Walking out into the hall, she went to the kitchen to get herself breakfast. She opened the fridge and got out 2 eggs and cooked them. While she was doing that she put some bread in the toaster. Once they were done, she put the eggs on top of the toast and went to the table to eat it, being cautious in cause of any sign of Robert.
Sakura's mother came out, bruises covering her body. Sakura flinched at the sight of her. "Morning mum."
"Oh, good morning, Sakura." Making her way to the kitchen, she made some toast and sat down next to her daughter.
"Where's Robert?" Sakura asked, looking at her mother.
"He's still in bed. He's still angry about last night."
Sakura stared at her mother confused. "What about last night?"
Nadeshiko quickly closed her mouth. "Nothing dear."
Sakura shook her head, "Tell me, I have a right to know."
Nadeshiko put her fist down on the table. "I said nothing." she told Sakura, trying to hide her anger.
Sakura knew this meant not to ask anymore, not because of her mother being angry, but because, if her mother acted like this, it was usually a way of her mother protecting her. No matter what Sakura did, her mother would never tell her what happened.
"You better be off to school."
Sakura nodded and stood up. "Yeah. Okay. Bye, love you."
Nadeshiko smiled. "Love you too, honey."
Sakura went over to the door and put her shoes on. Taking a quick glance back at her mother, who gave her a reassuring smile, and opened the door and walked outside.
It was only 8:00 and Sakura didn't need to be at school until 8:40, so she decided to take the long way to school, down Gillies Street. Maybe she would find Tomoyo's house and have a little visit.
She made her way to Gillies Street, and when she got there, began looking for 134. About 10 minutes later she had found it. Sakura looked up, and opened her mouth in amazement. "Wow..." she breathed out.
It was the biggest house she had seen. Three stories high and about three times the length of her house. A mansion. 'Of course...that's why she didn't mind about paying for my defense class, because she is rich.'
She made her way down the path and knocked on the door. A person with a black maid's dress, and gray hair tied in a bun, opened it. "Hello, my name is Helen. Welcome to Daidouji Residence. How may I help you?" The person, Helen, said formally.
"Huh...H-hi, is Tomoyo there please?" Sakura said, trying to remember her manners. She seemed to have lost them at the sight of all this.
Helen shook her head, "No, I'm sorry dear, she left about half an hour ago, shall I tell you dropped by? What's your name?" She said politely.
Sakura smiled. "Yeah, thanks, my name's Sakura Kinomoto. Can you just tell her, I'll come by later to see if she's back?"
The maid nodded. "Certainly, anything else?"
Sakura shook her head, "No, I best be off to school. Goodbye, thank you."
"Goodbye." Helen said, closing the door.
Sakura sighed and went off to school.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------
It was third period, and Sakura was trying to pay attention, but her mind kept wondering off, thinking about her family and wondering where Syaoran was right now.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Sakura lifted her head off her hands and stared at the door. The teacher made her to the door and opened it. A student on office duty was there with a piece of paper. The teacher nodded at the student and took the piece of paper off her, reading who it was for she made her way to the back of the class.
She came to Sakura, and held out the piece of paper to her. Sakura blinked, she had never received a 'pupil request' before. She took the piece of paper off the teacher and read it. She had to go to the principal's office. There was someone waiting for her. Sakura's heart caught in her chest.
She silently got up from her desk and picked up her backpack. Walking out of the classroom, she slowly made her way to the principal's office.
Once she arrived there, she knocked on the door. Her heart bet faster and faster. She was scared, why had she been called? The door swung open, showing the principal standing at the door, with two other people, dressed in suits, one female and one male sitting infront of the principal's desk.
"Ah, Miss Kinomoto Sakura. Please come in." Sakura hastily went inside.
The principal gave her a look she couldn't translate. "Please, take a seat."
Sakura went to the desk and sat down on the spare seat infront of it. The principal sat down on his desk chair.
"Sakura, these two people, are Mary and Paul, from Social Services. They, ah..have something to talk to you about. I'll leave you with them." With that he got up, and walked outside shutting the door behind him.
The two people, Mary and Paul apparently, turned their seats to Sakura. Once again, her heart stopped. Something was wrong. Paul picked up his suitcase and fiddled with something. Oh yeah, something was very wrong. But what?
"Hello Sakura, do you mind me calling you that?" Sakura shook her head, not saying anything. "Very well, as you know, my name is Mary and this is Paul." Sakura nodded silently.
Paul shut his suitcase holding some papers. "Sakura, I'm afraid we have some, terrible news." Sakura could feel her eyes start to water. She had a really bad feeling; she could feel her stomach dropping. "Wha-what happened?" She managed to whisper.
"Your mother was..." Mary started. "Your mother was found, dead, in your house. I'm sorry." Mary finished, patting Sakura's hand in comfort.
Sakura just stared into space. 'Mum? She's...gone? She can't be...she just ca-. Robert. That was why she wanted me to leave. She knew something was gonna happen. Can I tell them...what if Robert kills me too, when he finds out I told..'
Mary started at the silent child, giving her a few minutes. Finally, the girl managed to get something out. "Are.... you sure it's..my...mother?" Mary nodded slowly. Sakura let out a sob.
"You have the rest of the day off, and you may take as long as you want off school."
Sakura nodded. "Wait!" She called out before Paul and Mary had left the room. "Do you know...what happened?" she said quietly, not knowing if they had heard her.
"She was...murdered, we don't know who by, your stepfather was very upset. He had just arrived home to find her like that. If you know anything, please come forward and tell us." Sakura nodded, tears falling down her cheeks.
Mary went over to Sakura and gave her a card, "This is my Social Service's number, call me if you need me."
With that, Mary and Paul left the room. 'Bullshit he just arrived home,' she thought bitterly. She got up angrily, and told the Principal she was going home.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------
Sakura opened the door violently to her house. 'Where are you, you...f**king murderer.' She made her way around the house, until she got to her mother's bedroom.
She yanked opened the door. Robert sat there on the bed, staring at Sakura. "What do you think you're doing?" He said.
Sakura stared at him angrily. "You stupid F**k! You killed her! How could you!?" She screamed.
Robert jumped up and made her way to Sakura, laughing when she got into a stance. "Think you know self defense now do you? I very much doubt it, you could never pay for it."
He pulled up his hand to hit her, when something hard hit him in the nose. He could feel the blood trickling down into his mouth. "You hit me!?"
Sakura stared wide-eyed at what she had just done. She had snapped out of her angry trance, and now she grew frightened. Robert was really angry now.
"You little-" He took a swing at her, which she managed to avoid by ducking. Noticing this, Robert kicked her hard in the stomach. "Don't you go thinking you can get away with things. That's exactly what your mother thought."
"Shut up about my mother. You don't know any about her." Sakura said, frightening herself at how violent she sounded.
Robert hit her again. "You better not tell anyone girl. Or you'll be the next to get it. Or maybe even Katie."
This really got to Sakura, and without thinking she pulled her leg up and kicked him with full force into his 'soft spot'.
Robert doubled over and grabbed at where she had kicked him. "You stupid little -" He couldn't finish, because by that time, Sakura had thrown her knee up, and whacked him in the head. Flinging him up and making him land on the ground. He was unconscious.
Sakura quickly ran from the room, and out of the house, not knowing what to do, she made her way to the park.
